[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] RFE: %{_system_bindir} and such macro (#721)

[Igor Gnatenko]

When people build with RPMs as part of flatpaks, they are changing %_bindir to /app/whatsoever which is entirely valid case. But that means, you can't rely on `BuildRequires: %{_bindir}/foo`. Specifying /usr/bin/foo in BRs is ugly as well (because what if base system is actually installed in different location).

I think we need to add some number of `%_system_…` macro which will be set during build of RPM and won't change when you change %_bindir` for example.
